Building a contribution process is underway and in development however these things don't just happen. It...

Lets not pretend the OP could could give two sh1ts about any of the actual topic. This is a thinly, barely veiled barb at me just like most of his comments/posts over the last few days and weeks. So come at me, cheap trick. You have done so on here a number of times, accused me of being "the ma...

Asked and answered.

Surely with the low volume of traffic, no image hosting beyond some icons, and software that's 20 years old the ongoing costs would be quite cheap. I think (im not an expert in server tech or outaded forum tech!) that the site is quite resource heavy for what you've described - tech has advanced so...

So I’m guessing you have already had your legal rep contact the AFL to bed down the revenue sharing and commercial agreements? Do you even know what this means? The fact you even raised this shows me you actually have no idea what you're talking about. I deal with the AFL every day. I deal with rev...

I've said all along that my goal was to grow the site and get it back to 2000s usership community levels because it offers a unique solution and conversation avenue to our fanbase. Go back to the day Simon walked away and my posts from that time have ALWAYS stated that goal so spare me with the disi...

Not factual with regards to your understanding of what is a commercial entity but let’s not get wrapped around the axle on that point as it’s being made clear to you that there is a strong desire to have an add free site supported financially with donations. As others have said, I like MMs idea, th...

we were cooked.

I for one would be happy to pitch in $50-$60 per annum. Who else would like to do similar, or more or less?

They want volume later picks for a specific reason, not early picks.

No agenda. Simple yes or no question based on the content and context provided.
Not everything is a conspiracy, but yes, everything costs something.

Results were posted purely without context for this reason. There is no decision, solely results. The reality is that both options - contributions and advertising - are possible, if not probable, in some combination. I have given costs as I know it so far. The problem is in the unknown. The last out...

I honestly have no idea what's happening here

"St Kilda has emerged as a club "keeping tabs" on off-contract Gold Coast midfielder Sam Flanders, who has proven his value as an elite ball winner in recent weeks under interim coach Steven King. Flanders has reached new heights since King took the reins from former senior coach Stu...

Really ?And while we are in the mood to knock our coaches, I am not sold on RTB as a head coach .One should never forget that he lost four premiership matches including an unloseable one against the cats. Unloseable? That Geelong team is one of the greatest of all time? On what planet was that game...

the advertising model is not viable and will steer the site into a very undesirable direction. Please explain? I work with a number of digital platforms and publishers many of which are self sustaining via advertising revenue. It is ultimately a reality of the digital landscape and one with which a...
